Hi people,

Just joined this forum. One of my last attempts in the search of help to set up an nids. Basically i am a total newbie and reading all the books there are and documentation didnt seem to help as they are either too technical or explanatory. Due to time constraints, im in need of desperate help as to how to go about. I have followed the installation step by step procedures pdf file from www.snort.org, however even after following them, nothing seems to work. Also, do i really need php and mysql to log my results in the databases? Maybe someone could help me get started and i might see some light.

Really appreciate the help given. Thanxs a million in advance.
